All this talk of hard cases. I’ve taken the plunge and picked up a gently used Pelican Storm rolling case in olive green. I think this will pair really well with my various Filsons, as well as being very distinctive on the luggage carousel. Yes, it’s just a box on wheels. Yes it has zero interior organisaztion. And it’s a bit heavier than a normal case, but not a complete anchor like the full Pelican transport cases are.
But it should have a lot of character and look good with scuffs and scars. It can be stickered up like a rimowa and I’m never going to worry about checking it!
I’ll report back once it arrives.
Green is a bit strong in this pic - should be more olive in person.
I’m excited.

Here’s the Filson / Pelican vibe. Journeymen in evidence too...

I ordered a Pelican case a few years back and it was much bigger than I expected when it arrived! It's too large even to check due to its substantial weight... but I got a great deal on it and now I use it as a deployment box to keep uniforms, boots and other necessary gear in (I'm a reservist along with being a priest.) Anyway, the thing is built like a tank and I'd definitely consider picking up another one that was smaller for air travel. The olive is my favorite and I agree, it'll looks great with your Filson gear. Nice find!
